The top-floor rooms have skylights that offer stunning views of the long summer sunsets and sunrises -- though be sure the blinds close securely if you want to get any sleep during the White Nights.

"The modern rooms are decorated in gold and green hues, and even though the furniture is fairly cheap, there’s plenty of space. Efficient English-speaking staff are on hand."

"This luxurious boutique-hotel in a historic palace does not hold the name recognition of the Kempinski or Four Seasons, but it attracts an equally sophisticated clientele."
